Best in Texas. Run by people that know barbecue. When I have guest in town that want to experience the quintessential Texas barbecue this is where I take them.

This is the best BBQ in Longview and, while part of the same chain, is in no way like the rest of the Bodacious BBQ’s around. This is the one to eat at. It’s on par with some of the great places around the state that people rave about and that make Texas Monthly BBQ lists. Their sausage is great and has the consistency of house made sausage. It is not the normal commercial sausage that you find at most places in town. The brisket here is amazing. Make sure you ask for it with extra bark. Eat here. You won’t be sorry.

This location has been my favorite for a while, but once it re-opened a few months back I knew I needed to try the food to see what changed. I am no professional BBQ judge, but I have eaten some great barbecue and some bad barbecue. This location, well, it is as near to a spiritual experience as you can get with barbecue. I had the brisket and homemade sausage. The brisket alone is — in my humble opinion — better than any other I have ever tried, including that of Killen’s, Cooper’s, Luling City Market, etc. Seriously this Brisket was the most moist, tender, and flavorful substance to ever grace my plate. The crust(bark) was not overwhelming and had a subtle sweetness with not a trace of a burned or carbon flavor. The sausage was well balanced with the flavors and spice. Not too salty or fatty and had a noticeable smoke ring that added that extra level of flavor. Obviously the re-opening has indicated a pretty significant change. I always was a fan of Bodacious, but this location now seems to have the best flavor around. The hours are few along with the seats, but i trust you that it is all worth it to get a taste of some of the best barbecue in the state.

Best BBQ is Longview. No other place in town is even close. Brisket is awesome, and make sure to try the homemade sausage. Their brisket is on the same level as the best places in central Texas. Bodacious has franchises, so you may have eaten at some other Bodacious before, or may be tempted to not make the trip to this one and eat another one. Don’t, they are not the same, and you will regret it.

Amen it’s open and watch out crappy east Texas BBQ lovers. This is the real deal. It’s then only brisket worth eating in Longview. Great crust and moist and tender. Sausage was good and beans are free with the meal. I will not be visiting other bodacious again. This one is out of sight good. Oh. It’s run by a guy that was with Stanley’s in Tyler. This location was closed but is back and thank god

Well, pretty darn good BBQ to say the least. Their potato salad is probably the best ive had. What I like most is, when traveling you can play it safe and find a Bodacious in most moderately sized cities in NE Texas.

Everyone in this city raves about this place but I am not quite sure why… the food is ok at best and the place is always crowded. One pro is that it is right next to the package store.

The sliced beef was divine. Free baked beans, sliced bread, and drinks(tea, lemonade). Opt for the spicy sauce — mighty tasty! Eat here.

Free Drinks, Free Beans, Free Sauces, Free Bread! The place is super cozy, but I love the location. It is a very short trip off of I-20, and of course, they have some of the best Texas BBQ Beef around… yummm it is so lean and well rimmed, with a deep smoke ring, that I believe it is may favorite BQ beef ever. Love Bodacious… just don’t open in Carthage(love you more Daddy Sams)

I’m not much of a BBQ person, but I’ve never eaten BBQ beef sandwich this good. Definately order the sliced beef sandwich. Service is extremely slow for Northerners… but they got the best BBQ!
